Lot 26
1923, 1¢ deep green. . Scott 552. Only about 80 years old, perhaps with a little "seasoning" this will become one of tomorrow's rarities, there can't be too many of these. Tied by St. Helena Calif. Apr 22, 1925 grid duplex on a 1¢ Franklin round die entire, used locally, while not officially sanctioned by the U.S.P.O., this was the correct new 3rd class rate, pencil note at bottom "…Postmaster did not have any half cent stamps, hence this one". Very Fine. With 2005 P.F. certificate, which agrees it is genuine, but declines opinion as to the rate paid.
Estimated Value $50 - 75.
